High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz

In December 2011,I wrote that High Fidelity cables led by cable designer Rick Schultz was putting together a new cable.The cable came to market as CT-1.The CT-1 has FINALLY made it into my system!I had obtained a version of the prototype that Rick had been working on.It blew my previous reference Genesis by Virtual Dynamics.I thought I had finally found my end with this cable.This prototype delivered to my ears "Nirvana".Could I be at the end of my quest for the ultimate sound?
No. I received two pairs of CT-1 to replace my prototypes.They went into the system this past Friday.Unable to dedicate time until Sunday listening,I stole a few moments,ducking away from company with anticipation.My guest could tell even with the music set for"ambiance"something was intriguing and I was in for a treat!
The experience:
First off,CT-1 was very user friendly.Installation was simple;the cable is very nice and light.The female RCA fit beautifully unlike any I had found in other cable.It was secure and reliable.It seemed much thought was dedicated to developing a designer fit to an aesthetically stunning RCA connector.Install entailed a few wiggles to ensure what seemed like a compression fit on my RCA.
It was 2-3 hrs. for the 1st step of break in to be complete.At that point I had something different!Today,although they only have 10-12 hrs. on them,I can`t put into words how much my system has transformed.Believe me,I loved my prototypes.However....there is simply no comparision.
The clarity and sound is so natural.
The soundstage is like nothing I ever heard.Resoulution is breathtaking and inner detail is simply hard to believe possible.
The sound has transended and now it simply does not seem as thought I have speakers.
My system is musicians playing music.
I am told with time they will improve and I trust that as it was revealed with the prototypes.I wanted to share my thoughts with you that now.
Unequivocally,a testament to High Fidelity,as the name declares.
High Fidelity Cables for me,the last word on it,after 12 hours!
Truly Amazing

They will be gone soon. as suggested in an earlier post, don't bother reading anything from Mapman, Jafox or Jmcgrogan2 as they don't have or don't care about audio systems and are just trolling for attention.
Well Ddraudt - I have been on these forums for over a decade and have contributed much here….and received many thanks by many members again and again for sharing my experiences and results with numerous cable trials, tube rolling experiments, system optimizations, etc. Can you say the same?

Such members here as Albertporter, Jadem, bposner, and numerous others have much to with the incredible performance I now have. Please take a look at my system here and re-evaluate your immature statement that I don't care about audio systems. Your only contribution here is how good each new High Fidelity cable is again and again. If anything, you're the one here who is providing zero value to this thread.

My question,
Are the cables actually "changing" or are your perceptions changing as you become more and more used to the new sound of your system?
was clearly beyond your comprehension and yet Albertporter and Almarg added commentary that many things are going on that we can not clearly identify as a root cause of perceived differences. Now that these two members have made comments that go against the grain that changes could be due to something other than the cables, will you soon label them as shills? I hope not because based on their significant contributions and knowledge here, it is clear that you could learn much from them.

Rather than dismiss contributions from members who do not own or are not praising your your holy grail cables, perhaps you can take a few steps back and appreciate that we are all in this together - to achieve incredible musical performance in our homes.

Calvinj,
The ultimate speaker cables are working very well in my system.
Thanks for asking. I prefer to stay out of the debate, I own lots of different brands of equipment and they all have there strong and weak points.

Sorry Friends, I get frustrated wading thru mental masterbation bla bla bla to find relevant info on HFCables. It's so boring for me to hear, over and over again,, judgments from people who have never heard High Fidelity Cables.
Jimi asked,"Have you ever been experienced?" Well, I have!
I firmly believe that if you've never heard the HF stuff, you couldn't have any idea what we are talking about. I invite you to hear a power cord or other high end HF gear for yourself. You don't have to believe what I say, just discover for yourself. Although I have gained a surprising amount of both, our knowledge and notoriety are not the topic here.
More appropriate here might be how you are Enjoying the Music! D

I am reading/discovering with great interest the HF cable and am contemplating using it in my system. Just wondering if sharing the HF PC, ie. using the HF PC as an extention cord to a multi socket power strip and then plugging all the components using cheap but good value PCs like Morrow MA3 which I am currently using will extract the maximum benefit from a single HF PC. Has anyone tried?
